AI: Wii U?

The next Nintendo Console has been announced and it’s promising all sorts of crazy including media sharing capabilities and built in art tablet capacity.

Is the new Wii U opening doors for creative opportunity in game and media development or is it going to stay in the same niche that the Wii currently fills? Where could the new technology take the medium?

The ART Inquisition (or AI) is a question posed to you, the Mad Art Lab community. Look for it to appear Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 3pm ET.

I’m one confused lady. I’ve yet to try out the Wii U, but from it’s promotion it seems that you’re essentially using a cross between a Nintendo DS and an iPad instead of a Wiimote, and it sure looks uncomfortable to use as a standard controller. I’m undecided whether to even class this as a console at all. They could have just advertised this as a new controller, much like the Wii fit board. Hmmm… I best get myself down to a demo to try this baby out.
